Utility of contrast-enhanced MRI radiomics features combined with clinical indicators for predicting induction chemotherapy response in primary central nervous system lymphoma
ConclusionsOur prediction model, which combines radiomics signatures from CE-MRI with serum IL-2R, can effectively stratify patients with PCNSL before high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) -based chemotherapy. (Source: Journal of Neuro-Oncology)

Long-Term Outcomes of Autologous Stem Cell Transplant with Thiotepa, Busulfan, and Cyclophosphamide Conditioning for Patients with Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) is associated with dismal outcomes and short survival. Treatment of CNSL involves high-dose chemotherapy followed by consolidative autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Thiotepa, busulfan and cyclophosphamide (TBC) conditioning improves progression-free survival in CNSL, but further data is needed to evaluate long-term toxicity and survival outcomes. We hereby report our experience in patients with primary and secondary CNSL who received TBC conditioning for ASCT. (Source: Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation)

Primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma characterized by CNS relapse and successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation salvage therapy
CONCLUSION: Patients with low-risk mIPI scores, CR after first-line treatment, and those who underwent HSCT after the first relapse had significantly better survival. Intrathecal chemotherapy conferred no benefit in preventing CNS relapse. Further research is needed to assess frontline HSCT's effectiveness in improving outcomes and preventing CNS relapses in PB-DLBCL patients.PMID:38296697 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.01.020 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

Case report: Successful treatment of a patient with relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma with thiotepa-based induction, autologous stem cell transplantation and maintenance
Despite significant improvements in prognosis, a subset of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) remains at high risk for relapse. The treatment of relapsed and refractory (R/R) PCNSL remains a major clinical challenge. Herein, we present a 24-year-old patient with PCNSL who relapsed 4 years after initial diagnosis and subsequently became refractory to high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX), temozolomide, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), ibrutinib, and lenalidomide. She received thiotepa with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody and achieved partial remission and then underwent autolog...

Primary central nervous system post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder after allogeneic stem cell transplantation: a case report
ConclusionsOur case illustrates an unusual presentation of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in the cerebellopontine angle in a patient with a remote history of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. It demonstrates the importance of keeping primary central nervous system post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder on the differential for patients who present with back pain or headache that have a history of allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Comparative evaluation of 11C-methionine and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for distinguishing between primary central nervous system lymphoma and isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype glioblastoma
ConclusionMET PET could detect both PCNSL and IDH-wildtype glioblastoma, but unlike FDG PET, it could not distinguish between these two major malignant brain tumors. (Source: Journal of Neuro-Oncology)

The Impact of Time From Diagnosis to Initiation of Chemotherapy on Survival of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in the Veterans Health Administration
CONCLUSION: Our study shows that a TDT equal to or less than 1 week is associated with adverse clinical factors, worse outcomes, and response in DLBCL, even after adjusting for multiple known poor prognostic factors. This was the first time that response to first-line therapy was correlated to time to treatment. Our findings support ongoing efforts to improve currently standardized prognostic tools and the incorporation of TDT into clinical trials to avoid selection bias.PMID:38151390 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2023.11.003 (Source: Clinical Lymphoma and Myeloma)
